AC/DC’s Power Up Tour Returns Home With Melbourne Opener After Final Ticket Release

Promoters outline an enormous stadium production on the eve of the Australian leg.

Overview

  • The Australian run starts November 12 at the MCG in Melbourne before stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane through December 18.
  • Promoters detail a touring machine using about 300 tonnes of steel and roughly 28 tonnes of PA, shipped from the UK in 74 sea containers, with 26 production trucks plus 21 trucks per stage system on the road.
  • The build takes about three days with a 155‑person crew and 1,161 road cases, drawing roughly 500 kW per show and more than 4 kilometers of mains cable.
  • Last‑minute tickets were released for all Australian dates as demand has driven a Ticketek one‑day record of more than 370,000 sales and a projected global audience of 3.5–4 million.
  • The lineup features Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Stevie Young, Matt Laug and Chris Chaney, with Amyl And The Sniffers as special guest across all Australian shows and city‑specific local openers, while 2026 dates are listed for Latin America and a July–September North American stadium leg including Madison on July 19 and Edmonton on August 9.
